This paper presents the possibility of growing new energy plant, which is
underdeveloped in Croatia, but in Europe it has long cultivated. The need for renewable energy will be increasing. Lack of knowledge of the properties of plants and the financial crisis are the biggest obstacle to the development of the plant in Croatia. Great advantage of this culture is that for this cultivation does not need high-quality land. Miscanthus is used for several purposes. Some of them are: biofuels, heating, addition of building materials. As ecological plant is expected to be in the future a lot more use because the EU commited to renewable energy. It is estimated that by 2050. biofuel from miscanthus could meet 12% of energy needs in the EU.
